Artistry Summits


NEW! Artistry Summits November 21 and December 12!

Our brand new initiative, the Artistry Summit, provides an opportunity to work with distinguished faculty from around the globe. Guided by our renowned artist teachers, you will grow as a harpist and enjoy an inspiring musical journey on a digital platform. A virtual "boot-camp" for musicians, these once-a-month Summits (the fall Summits in October and November are FREE for AYHE harpists) give you an opportunity for concentrated artistic development. Registration is open to harp students of all ages and levels!

Upon registration for American Youth Harp Ensemble, all harpists are eligible to participate in the two fall Artistry Summits for no additional cost (close to two hundred dollars in savings!). However, if harpists opt to sign up for an additional private lesson opportunity during the Summit there will be an additional private lesson fee. More information on the Spring Summits will be coming.

What is an Artistry Summit?

It's a gathering of harp students and world-class faculty from around the globe who inspire you through engaging workshops and classes designed to take your musicianship to the next level!

Who should participate?

All harp students! No matter your age or experience level, you will benefit from the Artistry Summits.

How can I participate?

Artistry Summits are offered online. However, you will have ample opportunity to engage and connect with your teachers and other students.

Why should I participate?

In addition to learning from extraordinary faculty, you will meet students who love the harp just like you! We are especially excited that nearly two dozen harpists from the US and abroad have already registered making this a truly international gathering!

What is the schedule?

Between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm EST, your schedule will include:

  • 30 Minutes to Transformation- musical essentials which will truly transform your playing!

  • Five Workshops each Summit selected from: Practice Like a Pro!, Arranging for the Harp, Auditions and Competitions, World Music and Rhythm, The Orchestral Harpist, Career Seminar, Introduction to Improvisation for Harpists, Composition,The Evolution of the Harp & Yoga and Stretching

What if I can only do a portion of the day?

It's ideal to participate in the full day, however, if you can only attend a portion of the day, you are still welcome to join in when you can.
